(Rafferty/Egan)
Do you remember back in '64?
You came a-knockin', knockin' on my door,
Yeah, you really got me going, but you kept me on ice,
I didn't care where I was going, no I didn't think twice.
I was just a young boy, yeah, I was so green,
You were so experienced, you know what I mean,
Still you really got me going, but you kept me on ice,
I didn't care where I was going, no I didn't think twice.
Blind faith was all we had,
Looking back it all seems kind of sad,
We just sat around and watched it all go bad.
I said I never thanked you for everything you'd done,
I had to do a lot of walking before I could run.
Still you really got me going, but you kept me on ice,
I didn't care where I was going, no I didn't think twice.
Blind faith was all we had,
Looking back it all seems kind of sad,
We just sat around and watched it all go bad.

Stealers Wheel è stato un gruppo musicale rock scozzese formatosi a Paisley nel 1972 da Joe Egan e Gerry Rafferty, due amici d'infanzia. Il loro successo internazionale arrivò con l'album di debutto omonimo del 1973, che includeva il singolo "Stuck in the Middle with You", diventato un classico intramontabile grazie alla sua presenza nel film "Reservoir Dogs". La band ha pubblicato altri due album di successo, "Ferguslie Park" (1974) e "Right or Wrong" (1975), prima di sciogliersi nel 1976. Egan e Rafferty hanno proseguito le loro carriere musicali in modo indipendente, con Rafferty che ha raggiunto il successo solista con brani come "Baker Street". Stealers Wheel è ricordato per la sua musica folk-rock caratterizzata da melodie orecchiabili e testi poetici.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
